Welcome to 12446 Barrel Oak Lane, a home where every detail has been thoughtfully refined and expertly handled. Set on 1.81 acres of flat, open land in the heart of Lovettsville, this Carrington Homes Huntwick Place model offers over 6,300 square feet of beautifully finished living space, enhanced by more than $150,000 in intentional post-sale upgrades.

From the moment you step through the signature double front doors, the tone is set.

Elevated Living, Designed with Purpose

The main level unfolds with warmth and clarity—spaces that feel as good as they function. At the heart of the home, the kitchen has been elevated with a full suite of top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, including a counter-depth refrigerator, dual ovens, a 36-inch gas cooktop, and an upgraded dishwasher.

New pendant lighting and a refined breakfast area fixture introduce a soft, modern finish, while the adjoining bar area—complete with an arabesque backsplash, floating shelves, and refrigerator drawers—makes entertaining feel effortless.

The family room offers quiet comfort, anchored by a coffered ceiling and gas fireplace, creating a space that invites you to slow down. A formal dining room and game room provide natural gathering places, while main-level offices offer flexibility for work, creativity, or additional living.

Thoughtful Functionality Meets Everyday Ease

This home doesn’t just look beautiful—it lives beautifully.

Two separate two-car garages, both fully finished with epoxy floors, offer a polished and practical approach to storage, hobbies, or workspace. Just inside, a well-designed drop zone creates a seamless transition into the home, bringing organization and ease to daily routines.

A Private Retreat Upstairs

Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat. Updated lighting and Kohler fixtures enhance the experience, while the spa-like bath features a soaking tub, frameless glass shower, and dual vanities designed for both comfort and style.

New continuous flooring throughout the second level creates a clean, cohesive flow. Additional bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, perfectly suited for family and guests alike.

Lower Level Living Without Compromise

The walk-out lower level extends the home’s versatility with intention:

Spacious recreation area
Custom wet bar
Private guest suite with en-suite bath
Dedicated gym or media room

New carpeting with upgraded plush padding and specialty gym flooring ensures both comfort and function, making this level as inviting as the rest of the home.

Behind the Walls: Confidence in Every Detail

True luxury is found in what you don’t see—and this home delivers.

17 SEER Trane multi-fuel HVAC system
Smart thermostats
Whole-home water filtration and softener system (serviced)
Radon mitigation system

Fresh interior paint throughout

Every system has been carefully maintained and improved to ensure long-term confidence and peace of mind.

Outdoor Living That Feels Intentional

Outdoor living here is just as considered as the interior.

A stamped concrete patio, expanded deck access, improved drainage, extended front walkway, and thoughtfully designed landscaping create a setting that feels open yet purposeful—perfect for quiet mornings, evenings with friends, and everything in between.

The Charm of Lovettsville

Located just minutes from local favorites like Market Table Bistro, Train to Mumbai, Andy’s Pizza, and the Lovettsville Co-Op, this home offers more than space—it offers connection.

Lovettsville is known for its small-town charm, scenic beauty, and a sense of community that’s hard to replicate—and even harder to leave.

More Than a Home

This is more than a home. It is a place where your next chapter begins—already aligned.

P.S. If you’ve been waiting for a home that truly feels complete—where the upgrades are done, the land is right, and the setting feels like home the moment you arrive—this is your opportunity. Let’s make it yours.
